The Goth and Her Knight

aadyhatopaz

F12/100
After losing a 1v1 against an empty-beer-bottle-wielding drunk, I transmigrated into the body of a girl who seemed to have nothing going for her. Before I could have a full-blown meltdown, a mysterious ability called the Plus Menu appeared in my mind's eye, granting me limitless potential. Suddenly, finding a purpose in this completely alien world full of darkness became a lot more interesting and feasible.

The Kindest Vampire: The Chambers of Attrition

DwayneDT

F11/100
Dr. Harold Blackstone spent a quiet life helping others and their pets. He lived a good life, died peacefully, and should have moved on. Thanks to an afterlife clerical error, he's been turned into a vampire and dropped into a dangerous, game-ruled world with powers he never asked for and a System that's just trying to help. All Harry wanted was to avoid hurting anyone. Unfortunately, his new life includes manipulative sorcerers, mysterious allies, and a dungeon no one has returned from. Armed with dry wit, old-fashioned decency, and a disturbingly efficient healing ability, Harry is determined to stay kind — even when the world keeps treating him like a monster.

Revolver Chronicles

Larkspur Wren

F11/100
Serac Edin is too rebellious for her own good — and in the lowest prison in hell, that gets you a death sentence. Except she doesn't stay dead.

Armed with an ever-evolving weapon, she must fight through monsters, ancient immortals, and rival Wayfarers to climb as high as she can. A souls-inspired LitRPG set across six distinct realms, each with its own culture and challenges, with a competent protagonist who earns her power.

Ezy - Dreams Abyss

F10/100
An unfortunate man finds himself stranded in a hostile forest with a system that has turned his gender upside down.

A slow-paced xianxia cultivation story with gender-bending and yuri romance elements, focused on a non-human protagonist carving out a life in an unfamiliar world.

With an unknown world stretching beyond his desert stronghold, Mark must explore, adapt, and reclaim dominance in a reality that has moved on without him.

Eat Them All

Of Rantings and Ramblings

F9/100
Reggie was not an important person — quite the opposite. He was the town lunatic, hated by all and less than an afterthought to the elves ruling over his people. That changed when he was killed to keep a secret, and his death didn't stick. Returning from the grave as a vampire, he scrambles to stay fed and alive while making sense of his new place in the world. But the fear of dying again quickly becomes secondary. It will take all of Reggie's will to maintain his humanity in a world that already thinks he's lost it.

The Genesis Saga

When an alien scouting team finds him barely alive, everything changes: for Adrian, for team leader Reya, and ultimately for the galaxy. Reya's mission was meant to be simple. Captured and experimented on, she escapes with one certainty — there is someone else in the facility.

The Genesis Saga is a sci-fi drama about trauma, survival, and rediscovery, following Adrian as he learns to live again in a universe that was never built for him.

Rule of Cool

Matthew Siege

F7/100
Raze is a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the only arcade in town — a Non-Participating Citizen who can't see her stats or make opposed rolls against Heroes. The old-timers swear it didn't used to be like this, that their troubles only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving questionably-blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence. Raze is not about to let a millennium of injustice cramp her style. When a frustratingly optimistic dreamer talks her into using the Konami Code as a map to scale a suitably forbidden fortress, everything changes at the top. What follows is Raze and her mismatched crew doing their damnedest to burn the old ways down, squaring off against thousands of noob Heroes in epic, mechanized carnage.

That Time I Was Reincarnated into Another World as a Genius Supreme Archmage

Noelle Falkenhorst

F7/100
Kazuma Takahashi, a 32-year-old corporate slave, dies after a gaming marathon and wakes up as a newborn in a fantasy world where magic determines social status. Reborn with all his memories intact, he quickly realizes his adult mind gives him an edge — except he is born with an embarrassingly tiny mana pool, making him worthless by this world's standards. Rather than despair, Kazuma (now named Cid Arnett) uses knowledge, shamelessness, and a complete lack of moral scruples to game the system and claw toward power. His journey from magically impotent baby to legendary mage is paved with schemes and hilarious misunderstandings.

I Became My Vampire Witch Character

KurayamiWN

F5/100

She spent her days grinding in her favorite MMO, chugging energy drinks, and building the strongest character possible on the off chance she ever got isekai'd. Well, maybe she wasn't so delusional after all. One fateful day, she drank one energy drink too many and died of a heart attack — only to wake up as her witchpire character in the game world she had spent years preparing for.

Hospital Dungeon - A Dungeon Core Story

cascodia

F5/100
A dungeon wakes up with no name, no language, and no idea why the first thing it meets is trying to kill it. Fear from terrified intruders feeds the core — but fear is thin and never lasts. Then a wounded man is left behind inside its walls, and the dungeon discovers something better: his relief when the pain stops, his slow and grudging gratitude when the room grows warmer and nothing tries to eat him. The guild sends kill teams. The dungeon sends them soup. Nobody asked for a hospital dungeon. That hasn't stopped it.

The Last Dainv [Road to (not) becoming an Eldritch horror]

majon

Gale didn't ask to become a monster. When an anomaly opens a rift in his orphanage bedroom, Gale is thrown into the Eclipsed, where survival means mastering the alien Dainv OS or dying alone. He survives. Barely. Until he finds others. But every encounter forces an impossible choice: run and live in isolation, or fight alongside people who see him as the eldritch nightmare he's terrified of becoming. As Gale's heritage awakens, the line between human and horror blurs. To heal, he must first learn to trust — before his companions decide he's too dangerous to keep alive.

We are Void

Herald Of Chaos

F3/100
Humanity flees through a wormhole to escape a dying Earth, only to find themselves trapped in the Sanctuary — a reality with simple rules: kill monsters, gain levels, survive. But Zyrus Wymar knows better after regressing on an abandoned Earth. A universe-spanning alien invasion has persisted for eons, and the Eternals ruling the Sanctuary are merely wardens of a galactic fodder-manufacturing plant. To slay them and atone for his regrets, Zyrus abandons his human form, embraces a bloodline that evolves through carnage, and forges his own power by cultivating Void laws drawn from quantum theory. His ambition does not stop at revenge. A war rages to claim the origin of the universe itself, and Zyrus will erase anything in existence to reach it.

A Balanced Path

BR Santiago

?
Terra conquered the solar system during a century-long golden age, then lost it all when Mana arrived. As humanity scrambles to rebuild with mana-based technology, strange elven invaders from beyond overwhelm every defense with their cultivation. Axl lost everything to those elven cultivators — his lunar mining station home, his entire family. He fought back, killing his way into one final desperate mission: a last stand that became a fresh start when crumbling lunar forces implanted him behind enemy lines inside an elven body. Now in a strange world of abundant Mana and a pervasive System, surrounded by elves and sentient beasts in the ruins of a city ravaged by undead, Axl must navigate cultivation in sword, alchemy, and the mysteries of the Dao — all in the hope of giving humanity a foothold in a war of extermination.

Echoes of the Outcast

kwerte

?
Ten years ago, the Integration destroyed Earth and an army of cultivators subjugated what remained. Blake was one of the unlucky souls caught on a merge border — his body blended with a demonic monster, ending any hope of cultivation and leaving him shunned by both old and new worlds. Tired of waiting for circumstances to change, he bets everything on stealing a magic ring from under the cultivators' noses. Inside it lives the soul of an ancient warrior — and a revelation: modern cultivation has become rigid and weak, leaning only on mana and forgetting the other vital energies that once made it legendary. Armed with lost knowledge and everything to prove, Blake sets out to shake the foundations of the universe.
